RE: Vintage R/C Plans 9' Catalina PBY-5A

Another vote for the Twin Synch. I bought mine for the insurance factor and have since had 3 engine out non events. Another big plus for a seaplane is hassle free differential thrust water...

Good luck. They...

RE: GP Electricub on floats.. Question on CG..

Nice looking cub. I had a plane on floats (PT-19) that exhibited exactly the same characteristic you describe. I concluded that the immediate pitch up with abrupt decrease of thrust was caused by...

Perhaps of interest to the fin area comments is this picture I shot 4 years ago of a "civil" L-19. you can sea that tip fins were added on the horizontal stabilizer. These are often seen on full...

RE: Canard on Floats

Hi NONY:

yes , I was at the June Shuhwap. In fact I've been at all of them since the fall '02 event. These are must do's. It's certainly the best place I've ever seen for a float fly

RE: Canard on Floats

The plug in wings do make a relatively compact transportation package. See SE in the back of the Mini-Cooper.

RE: Canard on Floats

Ed, on the Somethin'Extra/Great Planes .40 single float combination, the protrusion of the float was dictated by the shape of the pieces. with the step located 1/2 inch aft of the spar (CG), the nose...

RE: Puddle Master Question on Thrust

I have a PT-19 on floats. It has a relatively high thrust line. When it was trimed for level flight at full throttle, abruptly closing the throttle caused a strong pitch up. Two degrees of...

RE: multi- engines

I don't know about the matchbox or equalizer, but I use a Futaba MSA-10 Servo Synchronizer on my Twin Otter. I have heard that it is similar to the JR Matchbox.

Hi Randy

All of the DC-3 and converted C-47 airplanes that I worked on back in the 50's and 60's were powered by Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp R-1830 two row 14 cylinder engines. As I recall, the...

RE: Twin Otter

An update on the 99" scratch built. Last week we got the bird to the lake for water test and amazingly it went well. At 23lb 110z all up weight it flew like I would imagine a Series 100 DHC-6 at...

RE: Twin Otter

Hello HybridVW

You have the right one. I've taken about a jillion pictures of the jump plane. N52FW is the closest TO to me so that is the paint I'm trying for.

I think you will love the SE on floats. I have been flying mine on GP 40 size sport floats (heavy) for four seasons. The foam floats would be a better choice.
